The role of melatonin in preventing radiation-induced intestinal injury
Özet
Purpose: Despite the therapeutic effects of radiotherapy on tumor cells, it has potential severe adverse effects on the sur- rounding normal tissues. Acute or chronic intestinal adverse effects that are likely to occur in patients undergoing radio- therapy for pelvic and abdominal cancers lead to increased morbidity, significant impairment of the quality of life, and economic losses. Various biological, chemical and pharma- cological agents are being tested to protect from and to treat radiation enteritis. This experimental study aimed to inves- tigate the protective effects of melatonin against radiation induced intestinal injury when administered before radiation exposure in rats.
